DUI Nanny Pleads No Contest To Felony Child Endangerment
BELMONT (CBS SF) -- A nanny with a previous DUI conviction has pleaded no contest to felony drunk driving causing injury and felony child endangerment after striking an 11-year-old with her vehicle and crashing down an embankment with a baby in the back seat earlier this year, San Mateo County prosecutors said Tuesday.
Evgeniya Martynova, a 64-year-old resident of San Mateo, was picking up two children at Cipriani Elementary School at 2525 Buena Vista Ave. in Belmont around 3:05 p.m. on June 12.
She drove over a curb while trying to park, striking a child with her vehicle before crashing through a fence and driving down an embankment.
The child was bruised, but not seriously injured.
Investigating officers noticed the scent of alcohol, and a later test determined that she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.10 percent.
Martynova pleaded no contest Monday on the condition that she serve no more than two years and eight months in prison. She had previously entered a not guilty plea in July.
She returns for sentencing on Feb. 23, 2018 and remains out of custody on $150,000 bail.
Defense attorney Nafiz Ahmed did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Martynova's behalf.
